The Black Angels have a distinct sound
primarily due to Alex Mass unique, mid-range Neil Young-ish voice. Over
the last couple of releases the Angels have migrated away from the
occasional long drone song and have focused more on the concise (by
their standards) psych-trippy-rock. In my humble opinion it's made them a
stronger and more consistent band. On "Death Song" they've taken this
succinct method and delivered a somber toned, heavy beat near
masterpiece. It's not light and it's not genial but it engulfs you and
won't let go.
